Cappadocia: Somine Lokantacilik (August 2009)

My spouse and I ate dinner at Somine in late August 2009. Somine (from the French cheminee, "fireplace") does indeed have a fireplace, and it offers a warming glow on chilly days. Most evenings during the warm months, the linen-clad tables on the open-air terraces at plaza level and on the roof are the choice place to dine. Wherever you choose to sit, you'll find the menu interesting, the service careful, efficient and attentive, the cuisine excellent, and the prices moderate. Somine is at the very center of Urgup, in the multi-purpose building at the very center of the town, right next to the small, pleasant park. Somine Cafe is located just a short walk from the Sacred House, where we stayed. We sat on the rooftop terrace. They take credit cards. This restaurant gets great reviews, but we felt the food and service was adequate but not outstanding.
